Plopping in the big Tau 5.0-liter V8, with which it can already be had, but boosted twin turbos, under the hood of the all-new Hyundai Genesis would be an excellent idea.
The sleek, rear-wheel driven sedan would get a significant boost from the factory 429 hp and 376 lb-ft (509 Nm) of torque and probably a zero to sixty time somewhere in the low fours. It would even get a cool name: the Genesis R-Spec.
What would it look like? Well, the rendering by AutoProjecoes paints a picture of that, though, we don’t think it will get a front bumper copied straight off the new BMW M-cars. Aside from that, yeah, we think there’s a place for it and it definitely should get made.
The digital modder suggests that the V8 engine used would need its power boosted closer to the BMW M5’s levels, though, that seems like a bit too much hassle (and performance) from a company still not terribly experienced with such vehicles.
